Can Crockett hold her seat in the House? I hope so.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Johnson had already won his senate primary in May.
I don't know of another case, where this has occurred again in recent history and think it's moot. All states now have presidential primaries or caucuses. Keep in mind, this was also put to test when the DNC had a second presidential primary in July 2024 after Joe Biden withdrew. There are now much stricter rules/laws about who becomes the presidential nominee for a major party. Kamala's nomination required a second primary consisting of DNC delegates. . She had to win the primary in order to secure the nomination. In today's day and age, Johnson would not be allowed to throw his hat in the presidential ring at the convention.
Did someone who had won a primary in their respective race earlier in 2024 also participate in the DNC's second primary? Who knows? I would have to research.
Bentsen was appointed on the same ticket as Dukakis. Hence, he did not file in two primaries at the same time. Since VP is not on a primary ballot.
Same with Paul Ryan. He was not on a primary for VP.
Johnson could run on the same ticket at Kennedy because VP is not an elected position. If he had won the nominee, who knows what would have happened? But in today's day and age primaries matter. Johnson did not participate in a presidential primary in 1960, unless you call a nomination at the convention a presidential primary. He previously won his senate primary in May 1960.
All I know is that Texas did not participate in a 1960 presidential primary.
Back in the day, political parties were poorly regulated. Fast forward to the federal elections commission and all the filing rules, Johnson's campaign for president wouldn't fly.
I live in Texas. You can not file for two seats at the same time! We even have sore loser laws that prevent primary losers from running as independents.
Also Texas has all of their primaries on the same day. (Some state stagger their primaries, but Texas does not)
No. A candidate cannot file applications for two or more offices that will be voted on at one or more elections held on the same day. For example, a candidate could not file an application for city council and school board if those elections will be held on the same day. If a candidate files more than one application for a place on the ballot, each application filed subsequent to the first application is invalid. [Secs. 52.034, 141.033]

Future...She's a Strong Voice For Our Democracy! 
I see very little chance we risk nominating a female POTUS candidate for the 3rd time in the last 4 cycles. The US is simply too misogynistic atm.
Also, the US deep racism and religious bias (against non Christians) needs to be taken into account. Same for homophobia (especially against gay men, as lesbians tend to have easier times getting elected now).
As for VP, she presents a chance to become a focal point of attacks from the right designed to scare off swing voters, moderates, centrists, white suburbanites, etc, which breaks the old rule number 1 for VP chosing (do no harm).
On election night 2024, when it was clear that Harris had lost, I predicted 2 white, straight, centre left Christian males as our 2028 ticket.
As a mixed race (genetic WWIII in a human body, lol: mum is a Bajan (Barbados) mixed race black/etc West Indian, plus white Swedish (my father is 100 per cent Swede), Han Chinese, Lebanese, Sephardic Portuguese Jewish, East Indian, etc), lesbian, atheist, social democratic (NOT democratic socialist) type progressive female, that prediction pains me, but I am nothing if not a realist and pragmatic when it comes to my predictions and what is needed to win in a fucked up Trumpian-inflected splintered national electoral ecosphere.
Crockett comes with more inherent risk than potential gain IMHO.
Same for AOC and a 2028 POTUS run. Hopefully she runs for Schumer's NY Senate seat in 2028, whether he runs for re-election again or not, as she is blocked from House leadership by the moderate/centrist/conservative Dem caucuses (with help as of late, sadly, from the retiring Pelosi). Some of groups (and individual members of them) detest AOC, like many in the extraordinarily problematic (on many issues and stances) No Labels-spawned Problem Solvers Caucus.
That all said, I absolutely respect a differing opinion in regards to my predictions.
Cheers,
Cel
